The ongoing Pluto/Uranus square is arguably the most powerful transit in 60 years in terms of deep and radical change in all of our lives. Even the 1960’s Pluto/Uranus conjunction in Virgo, with all the tremendous social change of the time, was relatively benign compared to the tectonic shifts and cracks in the firmament that has come to us in the last year. On an outer level this has been reflected in the Arab spring, the political and financial chaos in most governments, unusual and extreme weather events and the intensity of the climate change debate. In all of these are a titanic struggle between the forces for real change and those wanting to preserve the status quo and their power bases. The same struggles, upheavals, chaos and enormous potential are playing out in most people’s lives as this combination of deep transformative urges with the radicalised need for freedom pushes for dramatic and liberating change. The resulting collective stress from this quickening is hard to handle but to resist only hardens the imperative for change. This workshop, which opens the year long experiential astrology training and is also open to all, offers the opportunity to access these two parts of self within, to discover what they are asking of each of us and to learn how to move with their energies. Because within the chaos and stress are the possibilities of making real, long term change in our lives that allow us to live with more personal empowerment, greater inner freedom and the ability to create an inspired life that expresses our individual uniqueness and its gifts in the world. It also takes us deeper into ourselves, to get to wounded and unconscious parts of self that have been inaccessible until now, places we’ve known or intuited but that have felt impossible to move, heal or reclaim. Now is the time, as although these energies are ruthless for the sake of real change, they are also driven by the deepest grace. The workshop begins with Uranus on the Ascendant and Pluto at the highest point in the sky!

In some ways this is part 2 of Saturday’s workshop, as one of the goals of the Pluto/Uranus square is to clear away the superficial layers of our conditioned selves, so that we can live closer to our own souls and to be in a better position to manifest our ultimate soul purposes in the world. This workshop focuses on the South and North Nodes of the Moon, the two mysterious parts of our charts that reflect these purposes in this life. The South Node reflects collective past-life karmas accumulated over many lifetimes, good and difficult tendencies, patterns, memories, gifts and knowledge that we’ve bought into this life to refine, purify and to manifest in this life. The North Node is a visionary point that holds the visions of our future, of the highest possibilities of manifestation, a place of light, promise and fulfilment. Through a dynamic mix of experiential astrology, past-life regression, voice dialogue and envisioning meditations, we will access both these nodes to harvest their mysteries and their wisdom.
